Got info from LADOT ; details below but in summary, there are triple
left turns form southbound airport to eastbound century and adding the
crosswalk would delay the signal phasing, if we try to do the crosswalk,
it will delay the the signal and more than likely cause a longer queue
of cars heading southbound airport. I think being there are so few ppl
walking on the south side to get to the north side that it may not
warrant a change. What do you think? would hate to try and do sidewalk
and then we start hearing complaints about traffic delay southbound
airport to eastbound century.

The traffic signal at the intersection of Airport Blvd and Century Blvd
operates as an Opposed Phasing for Airport Blvd traffic. That means
when northbound Airport Blvd gets the green phase, southbound Airport
Blvd has the red phase and vice versa. Since there is a very high
demand for left- turns for southbound Airport Blvd at this intersection,
this move has triple left -turn lanes. In order to manage vehicular
traffic flow at this very busy intersection, the marked crosswalk at the
east leg of Century Blvd has not been installed to allow for free
left- turn moves for southbound Airport Blvd, and the pedestrian crossing
phase at the west leg of Century Blvd is shared during both northbound
and southbound green phasing on Airport Blvd.

If a marked crosswalk is installed at the east leg of Century Blvd then
east and west leg ped crossing phasing will be activated separately. The
east leg ped crossing phase will be activated during the northbound
Airport Blvd green phase, and the west leg ped crossing phase will be
activated during the southbound Airport Blvd green phase. The east leg
of Century Blvd is 129 feet wide and that would require 44 seconds of
ped crossing phase time to cross this leg. The west leg of Century Blvd
is the same width so together the ped crossing phase time would be 88
seconds. The north leg of Airport Blvd is 92 ft wide and would require
34 seconds of ped crossing phase time. The signal at this intersection
runs between 120- and 150 -second cycles today. With the addition of the
east leg crosswalk, the signal would need to go to 180 -second cycle
length and that would create significant delays in all directions at
this busy intersection. The pedestrians also have to wait longer to get
their WALK phase with the longer signal cycle. Therefore, we are not
recommending the installation of a marked crosswalk at the east leg of
this intersection at this time.

Omar,

I was just asked by a pedestrian why there is no crosswalk on
the east side of the intersection of Airport Blvd. & Century Blvd.

She was going to the bus stop which is east of the intersection
and it didn't make sense to her to cross Airport (going West), then
cross Century Blvd. and double back East to the bus stop.

Can you look into getting this changed?
